Vegan coconut pancakes make a great weekend breakfast, and can be ready in just 25 minutes!
We will be celebrating Mother’s Day in just a few days, and I’m planning to surprise my Mum with a lovely vegan breakfast to put a smile on her face from the beginning of the day. My Mum recently became more interested in vegan cooking and tries to eat vegan food 80% of the time. And as I was looking for a lovely vegan breakfast recipe to treat her on Mother’s Day, I came up with this great vegan coconut pancake recipe served with caramelized bananas.
Vegan Coconut Pancakes
Everyone loves having pancakes for breakfast, especially over the weekend. And these vegan pancakes are no exception, they are soft, fluffy and delicious! I also love the fact that these pancakes can be ready in just 25 minutes.
This eggless pancake recipe uses very simple ingredients. To make these I’ve used flour, sugar, coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking, powder and salt. The ingredients can be easily found in your pantry, especially if you’re into vegan cooking already.
Vegan Pancakes Recipe
The pancakes turn out very soft and fluffy, and the trick here is to use fresh coconut milk rather than tinned to create light and fluffy batter. You can of course swap this with another non-dairy milk such as almond and soya milk.
How to Make Vegan Caramelised Bananas
To make these vegan pancakes extraordinary, top them with delicious vegan caramelised bananas. Simply heat maple syrup or sugar and coconut milk in a saucepan until the sugar melts and the mixture starts to bubble. Once mixture is slightly reduced, add sliced bananas and let it bubble for 2 minutes, then flip the bananas over and let them cook for 1 more minute.
And finally, top warm pancakes with caramelised bananas, then drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce and serve. The caramel will be slightly thick but very smooth and delicious. I also like to add a little bit of colour to the dishes that I make, so I decorate these pancakes with fresh mint leaves.
